ALICAO

:: DESCRIPTION

ALICAO is a program to perform contact-based sequence alignment, where the structure of the first sequence is known (template) and the sequence of the second sequence is unknown (query). A contact map is extracted from the template structure and the program aligns the two sequences by maximizing a combination of contact mutation and sequence mutation probability. The combination of structure and sequence information overall improves alignments between sequences with < 30% sequence identity.
